Lazareth LM 847: A Super Motorcycle like no other!

The Lazareth LM 847 is a limited edition 4.7L V-8 motorcycle that has a Maserati engine. To be honest I am not sure if I can classify this beast as a bike especially when it is a 4-wheel pendulum. What bike has 470 horsepower and a torque of 490 Nm?

This bike has a top speed of 400 KM per hour and acceleration of 0-100 km in 2.6 seconds! The engine displacement is 4691 cc. The Lazareth LM 847 has a V-8, 32 valve Maserati engine. With a total weight of 400 Kg, this is not a motorcycle, this is a rocket!

The French manufacturer only made 10 of them with a price tag of $217,000! The closest bike ever made that comes close to this beast is the Dodge Tomahawk V-10 which is priced at $550,000, weights 680 Kg and has an exact top speed of 400 Km/hour.

Unlike the Dodge Tomahawk, which in my opinion was made to generate media buzz, the Lazareth is street legal. It even looks way more beautiful in my opinion than the Dodge Tomahawk:

One of the special features of the Lazareth is its ability to tilt thanks to a special design and kinematics of independent suspension. With a wheelbase of 1850 mm and 4 17" wheels, this bike is very stable the minute you start moving.

With such superpower, a bike like this can only be stopped by the two 8-piston calipers on 420mm diameter perimeter discs that come with it. One more thing to mention, this bike has one speed only and the power is transmitted via a torque converter.

Finally, the sound of the Lazareth engine is amazing, I have never heard such engine sound, except maybe in a Maserati or Ferrari! Here is how the engine sounds:

I am not sure if I would ever buy this bike, but I would die to take it for a test drive!
